TR is "Tannery Run" which is a grading system that can mean anything to anybody. There used to be a method to that madness like 2 A, 2 B, and 1 C or something like that. Now it really means however they come off the pallet, you have to ask, then tell them you will hold them to it.

Like Art, it has been explained to me as no sorting - they pull your order the way they are stacked on the pile. When I made the step from buying locally to ordering, I received one TR side that had a forklift track the length of it about 6" below the spine and footprints. I changed my mind and believe that to one seller "tannery run" means to run over it in the tannery.
